Default front brake issue??

I have a slight problem with the front brakes on my S1RR. At slow speed, maybe 10mph, I get quite a bit of brake chatter?!
Anyone had this issue and if so, whats the problem??
Cheers in advance!

no problem, floating disks with high performance pads and calipurs. If you do a search, you'll find this has been addressed many times in the past.

Cheers

Cheers for that, just feels somewhat ineffective when this occurs?! But thanks for your input!
